Expirience with the Giant XTC SLR 1

Ludwig Döhl One of the sportiest bikes in this price range. The XTC SLR 1 has a very clear character. The moderate 69,5 degree head tube angle ensures a balanced handling. Due to the interplay of a relatively long top tube and a low stack, the riding position is sporty. Giant is installing only absolutely high-quality shifting components. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 25 years warranty Giant sets the bar high!
